    Welcome to the forum, if you don't get any luck on here try the triumph owners club they might be able to help trace it for you :upyeah:

    Good luck Mandy and welcome. From DVLA I can see it is not taxed. As mentioned try Historian at Triumph owners Club and other Triumph forums on net. I'm looking for my old bike a 1965 Bonnie CNW 53C. No luck yet, advertised in Old Bike Mart with no success, but is is alive and taxed somewhere

    Hi and welcome to the forum and good luck in your search. Little point in me looking for my first great bike; a 1981 RD 250LC as the dealer told me a lad had wrapped it round a lamp-post a week after I sold it to them :frown:

    Not exactly unusual for these bikes. I'm actually surprised that there are any left on the road :rolleyes:

    You need a friendly policeman to trace the V5 owner!

    I know what your saying 2 wheel but if said policeman gets caught then it's bye bye career.
    They could check on PNC but the would need to be a valid reason why that check had been completed and your collar number is on. Every check. I don't know if you can the only suggestion is send a letter to the DVLA asking if they could forward a letter to the registered keeper asking for them to contact you with regards to purchasing the bike back.

    And just for the record I used to have PNC access but now thankfully I don't
